DOSAR VO ACTION AGENDA

ACTION ITEMS AND GOALS

CARRIED FORWARD FROM

Our Biweekly meeting on Aug 7, 2008

and

THE DOSAR VI WORKSHOP AT OLE MISS

APRIL 17-18, 2008

Action Items (Short Term) Responsible persons Deploy OSG and commence Tier 3 production in all DOSAR sites: –Actively participate in computing grid efforts in LHC experiments: at Ole Miss & ISU Horst, Michael, David, Jim Turn on new LONI_OSG site with storage & local DQ2 Michael Write note for setting up D0/ATLAS and CMS computing site Michael, Horst, Dick Create Co-Linux OSG/CMS facility at USA (and contribute to Co-Linux documentation) Horst, Romulus, Merrill Document the Univ. Of Okla. Co-Linux setup. Try out at UT-Arlington, other DOSAR institutions Horst, Jae Build up the DOSAR OSG support center and expertise Jae, Joel, Horst, Pat Analysis|: ATHENA + PANDA + Virtualization Pat, Mark, Amir Complete the deployment of SAMGrid in all DOSAR sites –Keep supporting the D0 MC and reprocessing effort, leveraging all available computing resources Joel

DOSAR Roadmap Revised

LHC Tier 3 Efforts Bringing Additional Large Resources The Color of DOSAR

4/18/2008 4

• Establishment of T3 sites at DOSAR institutions

– Equipment? – Infrastructure  Space with adequate power and cooling? – Software stacks and preparations? – Human resources? – Funds? – Training students and increasing skilled manpower? – Bringing up additional institutions to OSG based MC production level

• ISU - done
• OleMiss - done
• Other institutions? Tata?

– Allow cross griding between ATLAS and CMS

LHC Tier 3 Efforts

4/18/2008 5

Roadmap Goals and Milestones

• Write up step-by-step instruction on how to bring up a site

to become LHC MC production level from scratch  MB+HS, assisted by DS,BQ and JC

• OS installations and machine configurations
• OSG implementations
• ATLAS/CMS software stack implementations
• MC verification processes
• DDM implementations

– Make the note a D0/ATLAS and CMS computing note

• Still to be done

– Place the link on DOSAR home - done

• OleMiss and ISU start CMS and ATLAS MC Production:

Present steps and procedures to take to accomplish this goals at the upcoming DOSAR bi-weekly meeting

• DOSAR sites should be open to ATLAS and CMS for cross grid

computing

4/18/2008 6

• Implementation of the LAW project

– Need to provide clear path to establishing, managing and continually maintaining the system – Must be easy to update any software stack – Must provide a few metrics to gauge performance and security impacts

• Follow OU’s lead on co-Linux implementation

– Vision?  Bring up to and over 10k computers

• Do this in an moderate pace but very carefully

– Testing reliabilities, robustness and scalability – We can start with moderate goals – Prepare for MRI 2009  JC lead – Seek funds for human resources  ZDG lead

Bringing in Large Additional Resources

4/18/2008 7

Roadmap Goals and Milestones

• Write up step-by-step instruction on

implementing the LAW on a site  HS, HJN

– Condor installation notes at Condor web site – OSG stack installation at OSG site – co-Linux ISO image at OU web site – Must be made D0, ATLAS and CMS notes - to be done – Establish a Web link of doing this  DOSAR - done – UTA get >100 CPUs added  by next DOSAR workshop Sep. ’08 – in progress

4/18/2008 8

• What make DOSAR unique? – Grassroots org.
• How do we distinguish DOSAR from HEP or other grids? –

One of few cross disciplinary VOs

• Utilize the LAW project as part of the first step toward

bringing grid down to the campus – expand to state grids

• Promote students’ pride in participating in privileged

cutting edge scientific endeavor

• Open research computing to wider range of participants
• Keep abreast of OSG MPI implementation deployment

The Color of DOSAR

4/18/2008 9

Roadmap Goals and Milestones

• What do we bring to OSG table that is uniquely

DOSAR? – grassroots, cross disciplinary

• DOSAR membership to different disciplines than

HEP or CSE

– Each institution bring in at least one non-HEP or CSE DOSAR member in 1 year – to be done

• What is the DOSAR grid in one word? – Enabling
• Explore wider use of machine virtualization

– Bring in additional resources – Enable “drop in” server replacement for portability, redundancy, fault tolerence, jump start physics analyses – HEP and non-HEP applications

Action Items (Long Term)

Responsible Person

Fully engaged in LHC experiments: DOSAR should not become a Tier 2. It contains institutions from different Tier 2´s (Atlas, CMS...) and will collaborate with others IAC Reps. Continue participating in D0 MC and refixing according to our own priorities Joel, Joe Play a leadership role in Grid computing in the corresponding states IAC Reps Extend our participation in other areas like education and outreach IAC Reps Collaborate in software development with other non-DOSAR institutions IAC Reps Leverage regional OSG support centers IAC Reps
